Whether you’re an avid hairdresser or you love doing your own hair then a quality professional brush set will be a very important requirement for your haircare kit. Professional hairdressers can go through hairbrush sets quickly so they’re always on the look-out for new styles, new brands and new innovations.
If you’re looking for a premium hairbrush set, you should seek out something with a number of components (so multiple brush styles), high quality materials such as ceramic or titanium and different sizes because obviously, longer hair needs bigger brushes and short hair or bangs need narrow, slim-line brushes. There are various sets available on the market but it’s difficult to know which is the best for your needs. This article is designed to help you make the right choice when looking for the right professional hairbrush set
Important Brush Types Your Client Needs
You should only buy a hairbrush set that comprises of lots of variants, that way you know you have something for every hair style and hair type. It’s best to choose a variety of curling brushes, so you can create different size curls or work on the bang area. Also make sure you have a good, wide-bristle vented hairbrush in the set, for regular brush use. Additionally, you need a paddle brush for your clients who have long, thick hair.
How Many Brushes Should I Look for In a Set
In an ideal world, you need a minimum of 4 or 5:
- Vented hair brush
- Paddle brush
- Small curling brush
- Medium curling brush
- Large curling brush
What Features Should I Look for In a Hairbrush Set?
Look for good quality heat conducting materials such as ceramic as this retains heat without creating hot spots and in turn, keep hairstyles fixed for a long time. You should also look for natural bristles which are kinder to hair. Vented hairbrushes are a must as a general all-round hairbrush and look for ergonomically designed handles for comfort, with good rubber grip so they don’t slip out of your hands while in use.
Scalpmaster Ceramic Brush Set
The first set of brushes comes from renowned hair tool manufacturer, Scalpmaster and comprises of seven different brushes giving you everything you need in a set. In the set you get three thermal round brushes which you use for curling (different sizes get different curls), a paddle brush, styling brush and a vent brush.
Each curling brush is a different size so you can use them on variable lengths and some are better for tight curls whereas the larger ones are excellent for achieving volume and big curls. The handles are firm but they can sometimes slip but you can easily wind some rubber bands around them for a better grip experience.
What we love about the Scalpmaster set is that they don’t pull or snag hair when gliding through and the paddle brush is even suitable for use on wet hair, as long as you are careful. The small curling brushes achieve gorgeous bubble curls or ringlets and the vented brush is an ideal everyday hairbrush, or alternatively, use the paddle brush if your hair is very long and very thick. A good, all round styling set for a great price.
